Abstract

This article makes three contributions to the fractional Hardy integral inequality. First, we refine an existing result in the literature by improving the main constant and relaxing some assumptions on the parameters. We then propose a fractional-type Hardy integral inequality for an under-studied case, with a significant adaptation of the existing general proof. Finally, a version of this result is established when the integral domain is finite. The proofs are given in detail, with the exact expression of the constants involved at each step. We also mention that almost no intermediate results are used.
